IN THE FLESH?

So ya

Thought ya

Might like to go to the show

To feel the warm thrill of confusion

That space cadet glow

Tell me is something eluding you sunshine?

Is this not what you expected to see?

If you'd like to find out what's behind these cold eyes?

You just have to claw your way through the

Disguise

THE THIN ICE

Mamma loves her baby

And daddy loves you too

And the sea may look warm to you babe

And the sky may look blue

But Ooooh babe

Ooooh baby blue

If you should go skating

On the thin ice of modem life

Dragging behind you the silent reproach

Of a million tear stained eyes

Don't be surprised, when a crack in the ice

Appears under your feet

You Slip out of your depth and out of your mind

With your fear flowing out behind you

As you claw the thin ice

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL (Part One)

Daddy's flown across the ocean

Leaving just a memory

Snapshot in the family album

Daddy what else did you leave for me

Daddy what d'ya leave behind for me

All in all it was just a brick in the wall

All in all it was all just bricks in the wall

THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF QUR LIVES

When we grew up and went to school

There were certain teachers who would

Hurt the children anyway they could

By pouring their derision

Upon anything we did

And exposing every weakness

However carefully hidden by the kids

But in the town it was well known

When they go home at night, their fat and

Psychopatic wives would thrash them

Within inches of their lives

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL (Part Two)

We don't need no education

We don't need no thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers leave the kids alone

Hey teacher leave us kid alone

All in all it's just another brick in the wall

All in all you're just another brick in the wall

MOTHER

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb

Mother do you think they'll like the song

Mother should I build a wall

Mother should I run for president

Mother should I trust the government

Mother will they put me in the firing line

Mother am I really dying

Hush now baby don't you cry

Mama's gonna make all of yours

Nightmares come true

Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you

Mama's gonna keep you right here

Under her wing

She won't let you fly but she might let you sing

Mama will keep baby cosy and warm

Ooooh Babe

Of course Mama'll help build the wall

Hush now baby don't you cry

Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you

Mother won't let anyone dirty you through

Mama's gonna wait up till you come in

Mama's will always find out where

You've been

Mama's gonna keep you healthy and clean

Oooooh Babe

You'll always be a baby to me

Mother, did it need to be so high  

GOODBYE BLUE SKY

Did you see the frightened ones

Did you hear the falling bombs

Did you ever wonder

Why we had to run for shelter

When the promise of a brave new world

Unfold beneath a clean blue sky

Did you see the frightened ones

Did you bear the falling bombs

The flames are all long gone

But the pain lingers on

Goodbye blue sky

Goodbye blue sky

Goodbye

EMPTY SPACES

What shall we use to fill the empty

Spaces where we use to talk

How shall I fill the final places

How shall I complete the wall

YOUNG LUST

I am just a new boy

A stranger in this town

Where are all the good times

Who's gonna show this stranger around?

I need a dirty woman

I need a dirty girl

Will some cold woman in this desert land

Make me feel like a real man

Take this rock'n'roll refugee

Babe set me free

I need a dirty woman

I need a dirty girl

ONE OF MY TURNS

Day after day love turns grey

Like the skin of a dying man

Night after night we pretend it's all right

But I've grown older and

You have grown colder and

Nothing is very much fun any more

And I can feel one of my turns coming on

I feel cold as a razor blade

Tight as a tourniquet

Dry as a funeral drum

Run to the bedroom in the suitcase in the left

You'll find my favourite axe

Don't look so frightened

This is just a passing phase

Just one of my bad days

Would you like to wach TV?

Or get between the sheets?

Or contemplate the silent freeway?

Would you like something to eat?

Would you like to learn to fly?

Would you like to see me try?

Would you like to call the cops?

Do you think it's time I stopped?

Why are you running away?

Don't you leave me now

Oh babe

DON'T LEAVE ME NOW

Don't leave me now

Don't say it's the end of the road

Remember the flowers I sent

I need you babe

To put through the shredder

In front of my friends

Oh babe

Don't you leave me now

How could you go?

When you know how I need you

To beat to a pulp on a saturday night

Oh babe

Don't leave me now

How can you treat me this way

Running away

I need you babe

Oh babe

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL (Part Three)

I don't need no arms around me

I don't need no drugs to calm me

I have seen the writings on the wall

Don't think I need anything at all

No, don't think anything at all

All in all it was all just bricks in the wall

All in all you were all just bricks in the wall

GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD

Goodbye cruel world

I'm leaving you today

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye all you people

There's nothing you can say

To make me change

My mind

Goodbye

HEY YOU

Hey you! out there in the cold

Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me

Hey you! standing in the aisles

With itchy feet and fading smiles can you feel me

Hey you! don't help them to bury the light

Don't give in without a fight

Hey you! out there on your own

Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me

Hey you! with your ear against the wall

Waiting for someone to call you would you touch me

Hey you! would you help me to carry the stone

Open your heart I'm coming home

But it was only fantasy

The wall was too high as you can see

No matter how he tried he could not break free

And the worms ate into his brain

Hey you! out there on the road

Doing what you're told, can you help me

Hey you! out there beyond the wall

Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me

Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all

Together we stand, divided we fall

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?

Is there anybody out there?

NOBODY HOME

I've got a little black book with my poems in

I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in

When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in

I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on

Got those swollen hand blues

Got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to chose from

I've got electric light

And I've got second sight

I've got amazing powers of observation

And that is how I know

When I try to get through

On the telephone to you

There'll be nobody home

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm

And the inevitable pinhole burns

All down the front of my favourite satin shirt

I've got nicotine stains on my fingers

I've got a silver spoon on a chain

I have a grand piano to prop out my mortal remains

I've got wild staring eyes

I've got a strong urge to fly But

I've got nowhere to fly to

Oh babe when I pick out the phone

There's still nobody home

I've got a pair of Gohills boots

And I've got fading roots  

VERA

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn

Remember how she said that

We would meet again

Some sunny day?

Vera! Vera!

What has become of you?

Does anybody else in here

Feel the way I do?

BRING THE BOYS BACK HOME

Bring the boys back home

Bring the boys back borne

Don't leave the children on their own

Bring the boys back home

COMFORTABLY NUMB

Hello

Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me

Is there anyone at home?

Come on now

I bear you are feeling down

I can ease your pain

And get you on your feet again

Relax

I need some information first

Just the basic facts

Can you show me where it hurts

There is no pain, you are receding

A distant ship smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can't bear what you're saying

When I was a child I had a fever

My hands felt just like two balloons

Now I've got that feeling just again

I can't explain, you would not understand

This is not how I am

I have become comfortably numb

O.K.

Just a little pin prick

There'll be no more aaaaaaaaaah!

But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?

I do, believe it's working, good

That'l1 keep you going through the show

Come on it's time to go

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can't hear what you are saying

When I was a child

I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown

The dream is gone

And I have become

Comfortably numb

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Ooh Ma ooh Pa

Does the show have to go on

Ooh Pa take me home

Ooh Ma let me go

Do I have to stand up

Wild eyed in the spotlight

What a nightmare! Why

Don't I turn and run

There must be some mistake

I didn't mean to let them

Take away my soul

Am I too old is it too late

Ooh Ma Ooh Pa

Where has the feeling gone?

Ooh Ma Ooh Pa

Will I remember the songs?

The show must go on

IN THE FLESH

Se ya

Thought ya

Might like to

Go to the show

Te feel the warm thrill of confusion

That space cadet glow

I've got some bad news for you sunshine

Pink isn't well he stayed back at the hotel

And they sent us along as surrogate band

And we're going to find out where you fans

Really stand

Are there any queers in the theater tonight

Get them up against the wall

There's one in the spotlight

He don't look right to me

Get him up against the wall

That one looks jewish

And that one's a coon

Who let all this riff raff into the rooom

There's one smoking a joint and

Another with spots

If I had my way

I'd have all of you shot

RUN LIKE HELL

You better run like hell

You better make your face up in

Your favourite disguise

With your button down

Roller blind eyes

With your empty smile

And your hungry heart

Feel the bile rising from your guilty past

With your nerves in tatters

When the cockleshell shatters

And the hammers batter

Down the door

You better run like hell

You better run all day

And run all night

And keep your dirty feelings

Deep inside. And if you

Take your girlfriend

Out tonight

You better park the car

Well out of sight

'Cos if they catch you in the back-seat

Trying te pick her locks

They're gonna send you back to mother

In a cardboard box

You better run

WAITING FOR THE WORMS

Ooh You cannot reach me new

Ooh No matter how you try

Goodbye cruel world it's over

Walk on by

Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall

Waiting for the worms to come

In perfect isolation here behind my wall

Waiting for the worms to come

Waiting to cut up the deadwood

Waiting to clean up the city

Waiting to fellow the worms

Waiting to put on a black shirt

Waiting to weed out the weaklings

Waiting to smash in their windows

And kick in their doors

Waiting for the final solution

To strenghten the strain

Waiting to follow the worms

Waiting to turn on the showers

And fire the ovens

Waiting for the queers and the coons

And the reds and the jews

Waiting to follow the worms

Would you like to see Britannia

Rule again my friend

All you have to do is follow the worms

Would you like to send our coloured cousins

Home again my friend

All you need to do is follow the worms

STOP

Stop

I wanna go home

Take off this uniform

And leave the show

And I'm waiting in the cell

Because I have to know

Have I been guilty all this time?

THE TRIAL

Good morning Worm your honor

The Crown will plainly show

The prisoner who new stands before you

Was caught red handed showing feelings

Showing feeling of an almost human nature

Shame on him

This will net do

Call the schoolmaster

I always said he'd come to noo geed

In the end your honour

If they'd let me have my way I could

Have flayed him into shape

But my hands were tied

The bleeding hearts and artists

Let him get away with murder

Let me hammer him today

Crazy toys in the attic I'm crazy

They must have taken my marbles away

Call the defendant's wife

You little shit, you re in it new

I hope they threw away the key

You should have talked to me more often

Than you did but no you had to

Go your own way. Have you broken any

Homes up lately?

'just five minutes Worm your honour

Him and me alone"

Babe

Come to mother baby let me hold you

In my arms

M'lord I never wanted him to

Get in any trouble

Why'd ever had to leave me

Worm your honour let me take him home

Crazy ever the rainbow I'm crazy

Bars in the window

There must have been a doer there in the wall

When I carne in

Crazy over the rainbow I'm crazy

The evidence before the court is

Incontrovertable, there's no need for

The jury to retire

In all my years of judging

I have never heard before

Semeone more deserving

The full penalty of law

The way you made them suffer

Your exquisite wife and mother

Fills me with the urge to defecate

But my friend you have revealed your

Deepest fear

I sentence you to be exposed before

Your peers

Tear down the wall

OUTSIDE THE WALL

All alone or in twos

The ones who really love you

Walk up and down outside the wall

Some hand in hand

Some gathering together in bands

The bleeding hearts and the artists

Make their stand

And when they've given you them all

Some staggers and falls after all it's not easy

Banging your heart against some mad buggers

wall
